You are a negotiator. You'll do anything you can to avoid open conflict so you never start quarrels. You will give in when you think it's appropriate side.

You're very careful and circumspect in all matters but you won't face any problems until they actually happen. Also you're a kind and sensitive person.

right on track

     Feeling much better, i think i am just suffering from depression. *smile* But i guess, its over liao... Now i try my best to concentrate during lectures. Projects? All are moving mostly are on the verge of completing... some are already completed, but i am currently enhancing it. i am sort of a perfectionist person... Hope that i can get an excellent job done.

     BIZZENG's, my technopreneurship's company name, report was not very well done. What i mean was, there are so much room for improvement. Although the main percentage came from the presentation, we all hope to do a good report to give us a good start. My job now is to create a website and a company logo. It was quite smooth. i managed to get some logo designed with reference from logo-making websites... Sometime later, i might just post one of my design up here.

     Communication Skills was done, but not perfect. Many grammatical errors. Hence i need to review the report again. i will be seeing Ms Ng to get the sample report to make my report a better one. As for academic grades, i heard i score a 90+ for my open-book test. A large improvement from my 65marks last time round. I hope that i am on the right track before the final hurdle...

     Gosh~~ its 8.30pm liao... must go get showered and go to work liao... I am working stock-taking, hence its going to be overnight... See ya~~

not feeling good

     Projects after projects... One down with at least 3 more to go... i am not feeling too good recently. No, not because people around me mistreat me or what. i just feel a little out of place. Those around me used to be high scoring students, but they now are Bs students. And i recently, not knowing why, i feel that i am not supposed to be in the Photonics class. *frown*

     Who cares i am in a class of genius? who cares if i seems to be among the best? Who cares i get first choice? who cares if every goes like "wow! you in Photonics?!!"? BUT... i am NOT happy! NOT happy with who i am now... NOT happy with what i am studying NOW!~ but can i change the reality? NO!!! so the solution? bare with it and moves on with life! *laugh*

     i am glad to know people like Hang Ming, Li Chuan, Wei Ping or even Chih Shyong... but i feel like a burden to them. i hope that i can stand up real soon. Be one of them or even help them if i can. Currently i am only better in lab and not academic. Somemore, they are real good off academic too. i wished to be like them. i do look up to them.

     i not knowing why, but when i am in class, i felt so out of place… Not that i don't wish to study, i am not interested. Once i look into the book, i fall asleep... once i am in practical lessons, i am alive again... Maybe i shouldn't find excuse not to work hard. William, a Photonics student last semester, improved his grades from 'D' to a near 'A'. i should look up to him too. No time to lose, no time to slack. I have to buck up real real soon!!!~

days to remember

     All results are finally out…. 2 Cs and 1 D… the worst common test result I ever get in all my 5 semesters of poly life… But what to do, I did not put in enough effort to get any better grade… *smile* No one to be blamed…

     Back to the so-call normal life… but its not as normal as Year 1 or Year 2… projects after projects…. Currently, I still have around 4-5 on hand… Apart from a few where I can feel pressure piling up, most of the partners are easy-to-get-along type… *smile* thank god…

     Mr Francis celebrates his birthday today, although his actual day was on 23rd March. After lots of controversy, finally, we settled the outing at Seoul Garden AMK. The bill went up to $120++ which is below his $150 budget. He should be happy…. We finish the day with the tong fen, a substitute for ‘mee shua’ which normally the Chinese people eat during their birthday. Oh ya, and eggs too… 2!! But it doesn’t seems that he is willing to have it… its absolutely clean and normal… just that the soup are tom yam soup which is considered concentrated content.

     Most importantly, we have fun… but somehow or rather, we feel bad for making him fork out so much yet, we never give him anything. Hence , we most likely will look for a present to give him. But I hate him for making empty promises though… I had just been bluff by him in a game. He say he is a newbie yet his accuracy is quite high… although he sometimes play like a newbie…

     Its time to go and finish the report… and maybe go and see the video on American Idol 3’s Top 12 (Soul Theme)….

touch by an angel

     Touched… blessed… relieved… these are the three words I used to describe myself when the results for two of the three papers were revealed. I may be the last in the class for EG3237, but I am definitely happy and relieved. I had counted my chances of getting a pass. Its very very low… almost 0%. But Mr Chua marked one of the questions I did, right. The answer was supposed to be part B while I answer it in part A causing both A & B wrong…. He was lenient and marked part A as part B, which I believed that earned me at least 7 marks… *smile*

     i had almost let my tears roll… Of course, it feels bad to be the last, who would like to be in that pole position. On the other hand, I felt that I was blessed or touch by an angel, maybe my friend’s baby angel. Or miracles do exist. Although I haven’t get back Mdm Vivian’s paper, I am assured of a C. She said she marked very leniently this time round and all pass with the lowest scored students at C. I’m pretty sure to be one of the Cs students. But hey, I passed isn’t it? *laugh* One more paper’s grade to be released tomorrow, I wonder how I will fare. Hope that its going to have another miracle to happen…. *laugh*

the D-Day?

     Resting is over and its time for real business... tomorrow my results will be out, where i predic i would get F--- & D for the two papers... in case those who are not NYP ECC students... F--- (pronounced as F bar bar bar) are for students below 20 marks. This could be my most embarrassing moments as my other classmates are expected to shine and score (not pass, but score)... i am going to be busy from tomorrow onwards. From Comm Skills' Survey Report to ICAs, my entreprenuership module's presentation to my class event of the year.... its going to be the most happening year.

     i find that i grew alot in work. i can deal with stuff better. Its really difficult to see the progress untill you face with a problem. Its going to test my time management skills... but i am sure i can make it. i will and i hope i will *sigh*

one more over

     My second paper wasn't as bad as yesterday.... thanks to the intensive training with Rick... although we spend lots of time talking also... but i guess a pass was all i asked for... The paper was wasn't very difficult yet due to tiredness and not enough understanding... i can only roughly write the explaination... so i guess *sigh* at most a pass....

     Giving myself half day off... that's why i am now relaxing a little... there is one day break before the next paper... so i can relax a little... one more to go... and awaits for some lecturing from the lecturers liao...

one down

     My first paper yesterday was disastrous... i totally cant do the paper... still feeling dejected and tired, i had to prepare for the paper today.... But for yesterday's paper, i spent only <1 day of studying. Therefore, i expect myself to do better today. But what if...

     The paper yesterday was like pretty tricky. I expect this one too. i will not be able to take it IF today's paper is the same standard as yesterday. I once joked, if the paper is same standard, they will see me run and jump out of the window... *laugh* i hoped not!

     Last night's intensive training hope will give me some hope today, even though lack of sleep... i feel much comfortable for today's paper... as long as i do not feel tired during the paper... Wish me all the best....
